For example, video content may be defined by aspherical video capture using multiple cameras and presentationcomponent 102A may present the video content as it is being captured bythe multiple cameras. Presentation of the video content during theacquisition of the video content may allow a user to use system 10A toannotate the video content as the video content is being captured.Presentation of the video content after the acquisition of the videocontent may allow a user to use system 10A to annotate the video contentafter the video content has been captured.

FIGS. 4A-4B illustrate exemplary video content presented on touchscreendisplay 12. Video content may include kite 410 that moves during theduration of the video content. In FIG. 4A, touchscreen display 12 maypresent a frame of video content at a moment in which kite 410 islocated at lower right visual portion of the video content. In FIG. 4B,touchscreen display 12 may present a frame of video content at a momentin which kite 410 is located at upper left visual portion of the videocontent. The frame of the video content shown in FIG. 4B may besubsequent in time duration to the frame of the video content shown inFIG. 4A (e.g., the video content includes kite 410 moving from lowerright visual portion to the upper left visual portion of the videocontent).

Presentation component 102A may effectuate presentation of the videocontent(s) with one or more in-frame visual annotations. In-frame visualannotations may refer to one or more graphical and/or text elements thatmay be overlaid on and presented with video content. In-frame visualannotations may be inserted by a user during and/or after the capture ofthe video content. In some implementations, in-frame visual annotationsmay indicate an object, an action, and/or other visual characteristicswithin the video content. In some implementations, in-frame visualannotations may include texts and/or graphics indicating userinterpretation of video content. In some implementations, in-framevisual annotations may include direction/guidance/signal provided by auser for the video content. Other uses of in-frame visual annotationsare contemplated.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 3F-3G, an in-frame visual annotation mayinclude a text “Watch Out!” in a bubble and an arrow pointing to a sideof the video content. During the presentation of the video content, anobject may appear in the video content at the point where the arrow ispointing (e.g., a skier may cuts across the path of another skier duringthe capture of the video content). In-frame visual annotations may bestatic or dynamic, and may be observable at a time, over a period oftime, at a location, or over a range of locations. In-frame visualannotations may include one or more of an image, a video, and/or otherin-frame visual annotations.

FIG. 4C illustrates exemplary video content presented with exemplaryin-frame visual annotations. In FIG. 4C, touchscreen display 12 maypresent a frame of video content at a moment in which kite 410 islocated at lower right visual portion of the video content. The momentcorresponding to the frame shown in FIG. 4C may be the same momentcorresponding to the frame shown in FIG. 4A. Presentation component 102Amay present the video content with text annotation 420, motionannotation 430, and/or other in-frame visual annotations. Textannotation 420 may display the word “KITE” next to kite 410. Motionannotation 430 may trace the movement of kite 410 within the videocontent. Other types of in-frame visual annotations are contemplated.

In some implementations, presentation component 102A may effectuatepresentation of the video content(s) with one or more in-frame visualannotations at different zoom levels. Sizes of one or more in-framevisual annotation may change or may not change with different zoomlevels for video content. Increase in zoom level (e.g., zooming in) forvideo content may increase the size of in-frame visual annotations.Decrease in zoom level (e.g., zooming out) for video content maydecrease the size of in-frame visual annotations. Increase/decrease inzoom level for video content may not change the size of in-frame visualannotation.

For example, FIG. 4C may represent presentation of video content atregular zoom (e.g., not zoomed in or zoomed out) with text annotation420 and motion annotation 430. FIGS. 4D-4E illustrate exemplary in-framevisual annotations presented with different zoom levels. For example,FIGS. 4D-4E may represent presentation of video content at a closer zoom(e.g., zoomed in) with text annotation 420. In FIG. 4D, the size of textannotation 420 may not change with the zoom. In FIG. 4D, the size oftext annotation 420 may be the same as the size of text annotation 420in FIG. 4C. In FIG. 4E, the size of text annotation 420 may change withthe zoom. In FIG. 4E, the size of text annotation 420 may the largerthan the size of text annotation 420 in FIG. 4C. The increased size oftext annotation 420 in FIG. 4E may correspond to the zoom level of videocontent in FIG. 4E.

Reception component 104A may be configured to determine reception ofannotation input based on the location of the user's engagement withtouchscreen display 12 and/or other information. Reception component104A may determine one or more user's engagement with touchscreendisplay 12 to include annotation input based on the user engaging withtouchscreen display 12 during an annotation mode, the user engaging withtouchscreen display 12 after interacting with an annotation button,and/or other engagements of the user with touchscreen display 12 toindicate that the user is providing annotation input. The annotationinput may define one or more in-frame visual annotations for the videocontent(s). The annotation input may define one or more visualcharacteristics of the in-frame visual annotation. Visualcharacteristics may include one or more of color, size, shape, and/orother visual characteristics.

The annotation input may be received at one or more points within theduration of the video content. The one or more points within theduration may define one or more moments and/or one or more periodswithin the duration. For example, an annotation input may be received ata moment at which kite 410 is located at lower right visual portion ofthe video content (shown in FIG. 4A), at a moment at which kite 410 islocated at upper left visual portion of the video content (shown in FIG.4B), within one or more moments and/or periods before, between, and/orafter the time period in which kite 410 moves between the lower rightand the upper left visual portions of the video content (time periodbetween FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B), and/or other moments and/or periods withinthe duration of the video content.

As another example, an annotation input may be received at a moment atwhich a skier is located at upper right visual portion of the video(shown in FIG. 3C), at a moment at which the skier have moved left anddown the hill to middle visual portion of the video (shown in FIG. 3D),within one or more moments and/or periods before, between, and/or afterthe time period in which the skier moves between the upper right and themiddle visual portions of the video content (time period between FIG. 3Cand FIG. 3D), and/or other moments and/or periods within the duration ofthe video content.

In some implementations, a moment at which the annotation input isreceived may correspond to a moment in the duration at which the userpaused the video content. For example, the user may manually pause thepresentation of the video content on touchscreen display 12 (e.g., atthe moments shown in FIGS. 3C, 4A). The user may provide the annotationinput via engagement with touchscreen display 12. After the annotationinput has been provided, the presentation of the video content ontouchscreen display 12 may resume.

In some implementations, reception component 104A may be configured to,in response to the reception of the annotation input, pause thepresentation of the video content(s) on touchscreen display 12. Forexample, at the moments shown in FIGS. 3D, 4B, reception component 104Amay receive annotation input. In response to reception of the annotationinput, reception component 104A may pause the presentation of videocontent on touchscreen display 12 such that touchscreen display 12 showsthe frame of the moments shown in FIGS. 3D, 4B until the annotationinput has been provided. After the annotation input has been provided,the presentation of the video content on touchscreen display 12 mayresume. For example, video content may include visuals of three personsin a car. A user may engage with touchscreen display 12 to provideannotation input (e.g., names of the three persons in the car and arrowspointing from the names to the persons). Reception component 104A maypause the presentation of the video content so that the video contentpauses at the moment the annotation input is received. After thecompletion of the annotation input (e.g., indicated by a user engagingwith touchscreen display 12 to indicate the annotation input iscompleted, after a threshold time duration in which no annotation inputis received), the presentation of the video content on touchscreendisplay 12 may resume.

Pausing of the video content by reception component 104A may not pausethe video content during a subsequent presentation of the video content.For example, video content may include a duration of thirty seconds.Reception component 104A may pause the presentation of the video contentat fifteen-second mark in response to reception of annotation input. Asubsequent presentation of the video content may not pause the videocontent at the fifteen-second mark.

Annotation component 106A may be configured to, in response to thereception of the annotation input, generate one or more in-frame visualannotations. One or more in-frame visual annotations may be generatedbased on the annotation input and/or other information. Annotationcomponent 106A may generate one or more in-frame visual annotation basedon one or more of color, size, shape, and/or other visualcharacteristics defined by the annotation input.

The user's engagement with touchscreen display 12 may include one ormore lines, points, and/or other shapes drawn on touchscreen display 12.FIG. 5A illustrates exemplary video content presented on touchscreendisplay 12 and exemplary user engagements with touchscreen display 12.Touchscreen display 12 may present a frame of video content at a momentin which kite 410 is located at lower right visual portion of the videocontent. The user's engagement with touchscreen display 12 may includeengagement A 510, engagement B 520, engagement C 530, and/or otheruser's engagements.

In-frame visual annotations in FIG. 5B mayinclude annotation A 540, annotation B 550, annotation C, 560, and/orother in-frame visual annotations. In some implementations, the in-framevisual annotation(s) may include one or more lines, points, and/or othershapes drawn on touchscreen display 12. For example, the in-frame visualannotation(s) may include one or more user's engagement with touchscreendisplay as shown in FIG. 5A. Annotation C 560 may include a line/curvedrawn on touchscreen display 12. Annotation C 560 may correspond toengagement C 530 shown in FIG. 5A. Other in-frame visual annotationsincluding one or more lines, points, and/or other shapes drawn ontouchscreen display 12 are contemplated.

In some implementations, annotation component 106A may improve and/orrefine hand-drawn in-frame visual annotations. Annotation component 106Amay clean up the lines/shapes drawn by a user such that poor drawingskills of the user may be remedied, i.e., cleaning up the user's“chicken scratches.” Annotation component 106A may smooth out hand-drawnsquiggly lines, replace hand-drawn shapes (e.g., hand-drawn hat) withgraphics (e.g., hat graphic), replace hand-drawn text with formattedtext, and/or make other improvements/refinements of hand-drawn in-framevisual annotations. For example, referring to FIGS. 3C and 3E,hand-drawn annotation 360 (e.g., messy handwriting/drawing (chickenscratch) of person 350) may be cleaned up into text annotation 361(e.g., “Bob”) and line annotation 362 (e.g., arrow).

In some implementations, the in-frame visual annotation(s) may includeone or more stock visual elements selected based on one or more lines,points, and/or other shapes drawn on touchscreen display 12, and/orother information. Stock visual elements may refer to one or more texts(of various formats and sizes), lines, shapes, and/or graphics that mayreplace and/or improve hand-drawn in-frame visual annotations. Stockvisual elements may be static or dynamic, and may be observable at atime, over a period of time, at a location, or over a range oflocations. Stock visual elements may include one or more of an image, avideo, and/or other in-stock visual elements.

Annotation component 106A may match one or more lines, points, and/orother shapes drawn on touchscreen display 12 with one or more stockvisual elements (e.g., convert user's engagement with touchscreendisplay 12 with stock visual elements). Annotation component 106A mayinclude and/or retrieve information (e.g., a database) that matches oneor more lines, points, and/or other shapes drawn on touchscreen display12 to one or more stock visual elements.

Matching user's engagements with one or more stock visual elements mayprovide a clean-up functionality. For example, one or more user'sengagements corresponding to words/numbers drawn on touchscreen display12 may be converted into words/numbers written in one or more particularfonts. One or more user's engagement corresponding topoints/lines/shapes drawn on touchscreen display 12 may be convertedinto cleaner points/lines/shapes (e.g., having less jitters, less jaggedlines, more symmetrical angles) and/or stock arts (e.g., a hat drawn ontouchscreen display 12 may be converted into a hat stock art). One ormore user's engagements corresponding to outlines drawn on touchscreendisplay 12 may be converted into more detailed outlines of objectswithin video content. Other conversion of user's engagements into stockvisual elements are contemplated.

For example, in FIG. 5B, annotation B 550 (word “KITE” written in aparticular font) may correspond to engagement B 520 (e.g., word “KITE”drawn by hand). Annotation component 106A may detect engagement B 520and match engagement B 520 with stock visual elements to display theword “KITE” in a particular font. Annotation A 540 (detailed outline ofkite 410) may correspond to engagement A 510 (e.g., oval drawn aroundkite 410) shown in FIG. 5A. Annotation component 106A may detect kite410 within engagement A 510 and match engagement A 510 with stock visualelements (e.g., straight lines, diamond shape) that more closelyoutlines kite 410.

In some implementations, one or more in-frame visual annotations mayinclude one or more animations. Animations may refer to visuals thatchanges in color, size, shape, and/or other visual characteristics withtime and/or location. For example, video content may include a personperforming a trick on a skateboard. In-frame visual annotations mayinclude a bubble that appears next to the person. The bubble may becomelarger in size/change in color and include the word “BIG AIR” when theperson performs a particular trick.

In some implementations, one or more in-frame visual annotations mayinclude one or more visual effects. A visual effect may refer to one ormore changes in visuals presented on touchscreen display 12. One or morevisual effects may be associated with one or more in-frame visualannotations at a time, over a period of time, at a location, or over arange of locations. For example, in FIG. 5B, annotation A 540 mayinclude a visual effect that greys out, with the exception of kite 410,the visuals presented on touchscreen display 12. Annotation A 540 mayinclude a visual effect that blurs, with the exception of kite 410, thevisuals presented on touchscreen display 12. As another example, in FIG.3E, text annotation 361 and/or line annotation 362 may cause the skierto appear in color while other portions of the video may be greyed out,and/or may cause the skier to appear in focus while other portions ofthe video may be blurred. Annotation A 540 may include a visual effectthat modifies annotation A 540 at a particular moment/period within theduration of video content and/or at a particular visual portion of thevideo content (e.g., annotation A 540 may burst into flames at aparticular moment within the duration or when it near the upper leftvisual portion of the video content).

Visual association component 108A may be configured to, in response tothe reception of the annotation input, associate one or more in-framevisual annotations with one or more visual portions of the videocontent(s). Visual portions of video content may be defined by visualdimensions within the video content. For example, particular visualportion of the video content may be defined by a certain X-Ycoordinate(s) within the video content (e.g., for a video content havingresolution of 1280×720 pixels, a particular visual portion may bedefined to be located at X-pixel of 800 and Y-pixel of 600). One or morein-frame visual annotations may be associated with one or more visualportions of the video content(s) based on the location(s) of the user'sengagement with touchscreen display 12 and/or other information. Forexample, based on engagement B 520 (word “KITE” drawn on touchscreendisplay 12), visual association component 108A may associate annotationB 550 (word “KITE” in a particular font) with one or more X-pixels andone or more Y-pixels of the video content.

One or more visual portions of the video content(s) may include one ormore objects. As shown in FIG. 4A, video content presented ontouchscreen display 12 may include kite 410, and/or other objects. Oneor more objects may be moving with the duration of the video content. Asshown in FIGS. 4A-4B, kite 410 may move from lower right visual portionto the upper left visual portion of the video content. Theobject/movement of the object may be determined based on one or more offeature detection, edge detection, optical flow detection, and/or otherobject/movement detection techniques.

In some implementations, associating one or more in-frame visualannotations with one or more visual portions of the video content(s) mayinclude associating the in-frame visual annotation(s) with one or moreobject(s). For example, associating annotation A 540 (outline of kite410) with one or more visual portions of the video content may includeassociating annotation A 540 with kite 410. In-frame visualannotation(s) may be associated with the object(s) such that thein-frame visual annotation(s) move based on the movement(s) of theobject(s) and/or other information.

In some implementations, the in-frame visual annotation may be snappedto the object or may follow the object at a distance. For example, asshown in FIGS. 5B-5C, annotation A 540 may move from lower right visualportion to the upper left visual portion of the video content, followingthe movement of kite 410. In some implementations, the in-frame visualannotation may move based on threshold movement(s) of the object(s). Forexample, the in-frame visual annotation may move/stop moving once theassociated object has moved a threshold distance.

In some implementations, an in-frame visual annotation may be associatedwith an object such that the in-frame visual annotation appears anddisappears based on the appearance/disappearance of the object ontouchscreen display 12. For example, kite 410 may move outside the fieldof view of the video content and may not appear within touchscreendisplay 12. Annotation B 550 may disappear when kite 410 does not appearwithin touchscreen display 12. Kite 410 may subsequently move backwithin the field of view of the video content and may appear withintouchscreen display 12. Annotation B 550 may reappear when kite 410reappears.

In some implementations, one or more objects may have shapes that changewithin the duration. For example, as shown in FIGS. 4A-4B, the shape ofkite 410 may change as kite 410 moves from the lower right visualportion to the upper left visual portion of the video content. Thein-frame visual annotation(s) may be associated with the object(s) suchthat shape(s) of the in-frame visual annotation(s) change based on theshape(s) of the object(s) and/or other information. For example, asshown in FIG. 5C, the shape of annotation A 540 (outline of kite 410)may change with changes in the shape of kite 410.

Time association component 110A may be configured to, in response to thereception of the annotation input, associate one or more in-frame visualannotations with one or more points within the duration of the videocontent. One or more points within the duration of the video content maycorrespond to one or more moments and/or periods during which the userprovided the annotation input via engagement with touchscreen display12. One or more points within the duration of the video content mayinclude other moments or periods within the duration of the videocontent. For example, one or more points within the duration of thevideo content may include the moment/period during which the userprovided the annotation input and additional time subsequent to themoment/period during which the user provided the annotation input. Suchassociation may allow for the in-frame visual annotations to appear atthe moment/period during which the corresponding annotation input wasreceived and continue to be presented on touchscreen display 12subsequent to the completion of the corresponding annotation input.

One or more in-frame visual annotations may be associated with one ormore points within the duration such that a subsequent presentation ofthe video content may include one or more in-frame visual annotations atthe one or more points within the duration. One or more in-frame visualannotations may be positioned at the associated visual portion(s) of thevideo content at the associated point(s) within the duration. Forexample, in FIG. 5B, annotation C 560 (showing the movement of kite 410)may be associated with a period during which kite 410 moves from lowerright visual portion (as shown in FIG. 4A) to upper left visual portion(as shown in FIG. 4B) of the video content. During the period of themovement of kite 410, annotation C 560 may be presented on touchscreendisplay 12, as shown in FIG. 5B. After the period of movement of kite410, annotation C 560 may not be presented on touchscreen display 12, asshown in FIG. 5C.

In some implementations, an in-frame visual annotation may be presentedwith the video content such that the entire in-frame visual annotationis presented at once. For example, at the associated moment/periodwithin the duration of the video content, annotation B 550 (word “KITE”in a particular font) may appear as a single visual element (e.g., word“KITE” appears at fifteen-second mark). In some implementations, anin-frame visual annotation may be presented with the video content suchthat the in-frame visual annotation is presented based on the timeduration of the annotation input. For example, engagement B 520 (word“KITE” drawn on touchscreen display 12) may be received over a durationof four seconds. Appearance of annotation B 550 make take the sameamount of time as the duration of the annotation input—four seconds. Forexample, the letter “K” may appear within the 1st second, the letter “I”may appear within the 2nd second, the letter “T” may appear within the3rd second, and the letter “E” may appear within the 4th second. Otherappearance timing of in-frame visual annotations are contemplated.

In some implementations, the in-frame visual annotations may be encodedinto the file(s) containing the video content. For example, the videocontent may be re-encoded to include the in-frame visual annotations aspart of the video content. Encoding the visual annotations in the videocontent may allow for the in-frame visual annotations to be displayed byany visual application capable of playing the video content.

In some implementations, the in-frame visual annotations may be storedseparately from the video content. The in-frame visual annotations maybe stored in the same file(s) containing the video content but storedseparately from the information defining the video content. For example,the in-frame visual annotations may be stored as part of metadata of thefile(s) containing the video content. The in-frame visual annotationsmay be stored in file(s) separate from the file(s) containing the videocontent. Separately storing the in-frame visual annotations may allowthe video content to be played back without the in-frame visualannotations (e.g., by visual applications that do not support thein-frame visual annotations or based on the in-frame visual annotationsbeing turned off in the visual applications).

In some implementations, in-frame visual annotations may be usedfor/associated with additional processing of video content. For example,people/objects that are annotated with in-frame visual annotations maybe identified/tagged through people/object detection. For example,people/object annotated with in-frame visual annotations may beidentified via a deep learning technique (e.g., as used by Lumific) thatanalyzes images and/or videos within one or more media libraries (e.g.,image/video libraries within a camera, phone, computer, and/or serverlocation) and identifies duplicate/similar people/objects from theannotated people/objects. The identified people/objects may be taggedwith classification information based on the identity of thepeople/objects, location of video capture, date of video capture, orother parameters relating to video content and/or identifiedpeople/objects. In-frame visual annotations may be incorporated intohighlight detections. One or more frame(s) of the video contentincluding in-frame visual annotations may be identified as highlightmoment(s). One or more frame(s) of the video content including in-framevisual annotations may be identified as in or out points for highlightmoment(s). In-frame visual annotations may be used to categorizedifferent portions of the video content. In-frame visual annotations maybe used as one or more triggers for audio effects. Other uses ofin-frame visual annotations are contemplated.

Referring to FIG. 1B, system 10B may facilitate adding a moving visualelement to video content. Machine readable instructions 100B may includeone or more of presentation component 102B, generation component 104B,time period component 106B, motion component 108B, and/or other computerprogram components.

Presentation component 102B may be configured to effectuate presentationof one or more of video content, a graphical user interface, and/orother information on touchscreen display 12. A graphical user interfacemay refer to a visual interface that allows a user to interact with oneor more components within the visual interface. The graphical userinterface may be presented with the video content. For example, as shownin FIG. 6A, GUI 600 may be presented on top of video content. Thegraphical user interface may be presented separately from the videocontent. For example, as shown in FIG. 6B, GUI 605 may be presented inthe top portion of touchscreen display 12 and video content may bepresented in the bottom portion of touchscreen display 12. In someimplementations, the graphical user interface may be presentedseparately from the video content by presenting the video content withina smaller area of touchscreen display 12. For example, in FIG. 6B, kite410 appears smaller than kite 410 in FIG. 6A because video content hasbeen shrunk to be presented in the area of touchscreen display 12 belowGUI 605. The graphical user interface (GUI 600, 605) may be alwayspresented on touchscreen display 12 when system 10B is operational ormay be presented on touchscreen display 12 based on the context of useroperations. For example, GUI 600, 605 may appear when the user indicatesthat addition of moving visual elements is desired.

In some implementations, video content(s) may include one or moreobjects. For example, video content may include kite 410 as shown inFIG. 4A. The object(s) may be moving within the duration of the videocontent. As shown in FIGS. 4A-4B, kite 410 may move from lower rightvisual portion to the upper left visual portion of the video content.The object(s) may be characterized by one or more movements. Forexample, kite 410 may be characterized by one or more of translationalmovements and/or angular movements. As shown in FIGS. 4A-4B, kite 410may be characterized by translational movements in which kite 410 movesfrom lower right visual portion to the upper left visual portion of thevideo content, and angular movements in which kite 410 tilts to theleft.

Presentation component 102B may effectuate presentation of one or moremoving visual elements with the video content(s). Moving visual elementsmay refer to one or more moving graphical and/or text elements that maybe overlaid on and presented with video content. Moving visual elementsmay be static or dynamic, and may be observable at a time, over a periodof time, at a location, or over a range of locations. Moving visualelements may include one or more of an image, a video, and/or othermoving visual elements. In some implementations, moving visual elementsmay include one or more in-frame visual annotations.

FIGS. 7A-7B illustrate exemplary video content presented with exemplarymoving visual elements. In FIG. 7A, touchscreen display 12 may present aframe of video content at a moment in which kite 410 is located at lowerright visual portion of the video content. In FIG. 7B, touchscreendisplay 12 may present a frame of video content at a moment in whichkite 410 is located at upper left visual portion of the video content.In FIGS. 7A-7B, moving visual elements may include rocket 710 and/orother moving visual elements. The moving visual elements may bepresented at one or more periods within the duration of the videocontent. For example, as shown in FIGS. 7A-7B, rocket 710 may bepresented during the time period in which kite 410 moves between thelower right and the upper left visual portions of the video content(time period between FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B). Rocket 710 may be presentedduring other time periods. The moving visual elements may becharacterized by one or more motions. For example, as shown in FIGS.7A-7B, rocket 710 may be characterized by rocket motion 720 and/or othermotions. Rocket motion 720 may include a leftward motion in which rocket710 first moves downwards and then upwards. Rocket motion 720 may followthe movement of kite 410. Rocket motion 720 may simulate rocket 710heading towards kite 410.

A graphical user interface may facilitate interactions of a user withone or more animation fields via the user input. Animation fields mayprovide one or more options for selection by the user. One or moreoptions may define different properties of a moving visual element addedto the video. The options may define one or more of visualcharacteristics, presentation periods, motions, and/or other propertiesof the moving visual element.

In some implementations, animation fields 800 mayinclude object motion selection field 840. In some implementations,object motion selection field 840 may be a part of motion selectionfield 830. In some implementations, animation fields 800 may includedistance selection field 850. In some implementations, distanceselection field 850 may be a part of object motion selection field 840.Animation fields may include one or more touch interactive components(e.g., buttons, toggles, sliders, bars, graphics) that may change one ormore different properties of the moving visual element based on userinteractions.

Visual selection field 810 may present one or more visual characteristicoptions for selection by the user. Visual characteristic options maydefine different visual characteristics for one or more moving visualelements. Visual characteristics may define appearance of one or moremoving visual elements. One or more visual characteristics may be staticor dynamic. Different visual characteristics for one or more movingvisual elements may include one or more of a color, a size, a shape, atext, an image, a video, a visual effect, and/or other visualcharacteristics. FIG. 9A illustrates exemplary visual characteristicoptions provided by visual selection field 810.

For example, visual characteristic options may define one or more colorsof the moving visual element or one or more colors of tools (e.g.,pencil tool, brush tool, spray tool, fill tool) used to define themoving visual element (e.g., color selection 811). Visual characteristicoptions may define one or more sizes of the moving visual element or oneor more sizes of tools (e.g., tip size of pencil tool, tip size of brushtool, spray area of spray tool) used to define the moving visual element(e.g., size selection 812). Visual characteristic options may define oneor more shapes of the moving visual element or one or more shapes oftools (e.g., tip shape of pencil tool, tip shape of brush tool, sprayshape of spray tool) used to define the moving visual element (e.g.,shape selection 813). Visual characteristic options may define one ormore texts of the moving visual element or one or more texts of tools(e.g., text tool) used to define the moving visual element (e.g., textselection 814).

Visual characteristic options may define one or more images and/orvideos of the moving visual element. For example, visual characteristicoptions may define one or more images/videos to be included as part ofthe moving visual element (e.g., image selection 815, video selection816). Visual characteristic options may define one or more visualeffects of the moving visual element. For example, visual characteristicoptions may define one or more visual effects to be included as part ofthe moving visual element and/or visual effects triggered by the movingvisual element (e.g., visual effect selection 817). Other visualcharacteristic options (e.g., other visual characteristic selection 818)are contemplated.

Time selection field 820 may present one or more time period options forselection by the user. The time period options may define differentperiods within the duration of video content in which the moving visualelement(s) may be presented with the video content. FIG. 9B illustratesexemplary time period options provided by time selection field 820.

For example, the time period options may define one or more start timesand one or more end times for the periods during which the moving visualelement(s) may be presented (e.g., start at 2.5 second mark, end at 5.2second mark) (e.g., start time selection 823, end time selection 824).The time period options may define one or more time periods during whichthe moving visual element(s) may be presented (e.g., present for 12seconds) (e.g., period A selection 821, period B selection 822). Timeperiod options may allow for adjustment of time periods selected by theuser. For example, a user may select a preset time period (e.g., 12seconds) and manually adjust the time period (e.g., shorten or lengthenthe time period) (e.g., period adjustment selection 825).

Time period options may define one or more time periods based onoccurrence of one or more events and/or one or more objects within thevideo content. For example, time period options may define a time periodas starting based on occurrences of one or more highlightmoments/durations and/or may be defined to include one or more highlightmoments/durations. Time period options may define a time period based onappearance/disappearance of one or more objects within the videocontent. Other time period options (e.g., other time selection 826) arecontemplated.

Motion selection field 830 may present one or more motion options forselection by the user. The motion options may define different motionsfor the moving visual element(s). Motions for the moving visual elementmay characterize how the moving visual element moves within the videocontent. Motions for the moving visual element may be static or dynamic.FIG. 9C illustrates exemplary motion options provided by motionselection field 830.

For example, motion selection options may include one or both of apredetermined path option and/or a user-determined path option (e.g.,path selection 831). A predetermined path option may allow a user toselect one or more predetermined paths for the moving visual element. Auser-determined path option may allow a user to manually determine thepath traveled by the moving visual element (e.g., by drawing ontouchscreen display 12 the path of the moving visual element).

Motion selection options may include one or both of a predeterminedtranslational motion option and/or a user-determined translationalmotion option (e.g., translational motion selection 832). Apredetermined translational motion option may allow a user to select oneor more predetermined translational motions for the moving visualelement. A user-determined translational motion option may allow a userto manually determine one or more translational motions for the movingvisual element (e.g., by drawing on touchscreen display 12 thetranslational motions for the moving visual element).

Motion selection options may include one or both of a predeterminedangular motion option and/or a user-determined angular motion option(e.g., angular motion selection 833). A predetermined angular motionoption may allow a user to select one or more predetermined angularmotions for the moving visual element. A user-determined angular motionoption may allow a user to manually determine one or more angularmotions for the moving visual element (e.g., by drawing on touchscreendisplay 12 the angular motions for the moving visual element). Othermotions options (e.g., other motion selection 834) are contemplated.

Object motion selection field 840 may present one or more object motionoptions for selection by the user. The object motion options may definedifferent motions for the moving visual element(s) based on themovement(s) of one or more object(s). FIG. 9D illustrates exemplaryobject motion options provided by object motion selection field 840.

For example, object motion selection options may include an objectselection option (e.g., option selection 841). An object selectionoption may allow a user to select one or more objects within videocontent from which the motions for the moving visual element may bedetermined. For example, touchscreen display 12 may present a frame ofvideo content as shown in FIG. 7A. A user may use the object selectionoption to select kite 410 as the object from which motions for themoving visual element (e.g., rocket 710) may be determined. Other typesof object selections are contemplated.

In some implementations, object motion selection options may include afollow motion selection option (e.g., follow object motion selection843). A follow motion selection option may allow the motion for themoving visual element to be determined as a motion that follow theselected object. For example, as shown in FIGS. 7A-7B, the follow motionselection option may allow the motion for rocket 710 to be determined asrocket motion 720 that follows kite 410. Other types of follow motionsare contemplated.

Distance selection field 850 may present one or more distance optionsfor selection by the user. The distance options may define differentdistances at which the moving visual element(s) may follow one or moreobject(s). FIG. 9E illustrates exemplary distance options provided bydistance selection field 850.

For example, the distance options may define one or more start followingdistances and one or more end following distances for the periods duringwhich the moving visual element(s) may be presented (e.g., startdistance selection 853, end distance selection 854). The distanceoptions may define one or more distances from which the moving visualelement(s) may follow the object(s) (e.g., distance A selection 851,distance B selection 852).

Distance options may allow for adjustment of following distancesselected by the user. For example, a user may select a preset followingdistance and manually adjust the following distance (e.g., distanceadjustment selection 855). FIG. 9F illustrates exemplary distanceadjustment selection A 855A. Distance adjustment selection A 855A mayinclude a graph displaying the following distances as a function of time(time during which the moving visual element(s) may be presented). Auser may be able to adjust the following distances by moving the graphup or down. For example, graph as shown in FIG. 9F may correspond tofollowing distances in which the following distances increases and thendecreases to zero. For example, with respect to FIGS. 7A-7B, thedistances at which rocket 710 may follow kite 410 may initially increaseand then decrease until rocket 710 hits kite 410. Other distance options(e.g., other distance selection 856) are contemplated.

Generation component 104B may be configured to generate one or moremoving visual elements. One or more moving visual elements may begenerated based on one or more visual characteristic options selected bythe user and/or other information. For example, generation component104B may generate moving visual element(s) based on one or more visualcharacteristic options selected via visual selection field 810, and/orother selection fields 860,

For example, as shown in FIGS. 7A-7B, generation component 104B maygenerate rocket 710 and/or other moving visual elements based on one ormore visual characteristic options selected by the user and/or otherinformation. In some implementations, the moving visual element(s) mayinclude one or more animations. For example, rocket 710 may include aflame animation that changes in size with changes in speed of rocket 710and/or may include an explosion animation that is triggered when thefollowing distance between rocket 710 and kite 410 reaches zero. Othertypes of animations are contemplated.

The user's engagement with touchscreen display 12 may include one ormore lines, points, and/or other shapes drawn on the touchscreendisplay. For example, FIG. 3 illustrates exemplary points 310, curve320, and oval 330 drawn on touchscreen display via the user's engagementwith touchscreen display 12. In some implementations, the moving visualelement(s) may be generated based on one or more lines, points, and/orother shapes drawn on touchscreen display 12. For example, the movingvisual element(s) may include one or more lines, points, and/or othershapes drawn on touchscreen display 12. The moving visual element(s) mayinclude one or more stock visual elements selected based on one or morelines, points, and/or other shapes drawn on touchscreen display 12,and/or other information.

Time period component 106B may be configured to determine one or moreperiods within the duration in which the moving visual element(s) may bepresented with the video content. For example, time period component106B may determine one or more periods within the duration of videocontent in which rocket 710 and/or other moving visual elements may bepresented with the video content. The period(s) within the duration maybe determined based on one or more time period options selected by theuser and/or other information. For example, time period component 106Bmay determine period(s) within the duration in which the moving visualelement(s) may be presented with the video content based on one or moretime period options selected via time selection field 820, and/or otherselection fields 860. (120) Motion component 108B may be configured todetermine one or more motions for the moving visual element(s). Forexample, motion component 108B may determine one or more motions forrocket 710 and/or other moving visual elements. The motion(s) for themoving visual element(s) may be determined based on one or more motionoptions selected by the user and/or other information. For example,motion component 108B may determine motion(s) for rocket 710 based onone or more motion options selected via motion selection field 830,object motion selection field 840, distance selection field 850, and/orother selection fields 860.
